Overall, it was a wonderful performance. Ralph Stanley was looking dapper and doing well for a man of 87 years of age. And for the most part the Clinch Mountain Boys, led by Dr. Stanley's grandson Nathan, were great as well. My only complaint was that during the second half of the show, the momentum was stopped when Nathan Stanley started talking about his religious activities and Dewey Brown (fiddle player) brought out some sort of biblical trumpet made out of a horn, spent 10 minutes explaining how it was featured in the bible, and then spent 5 minutes playing it. The rest of the band and Dr Stanley were off stage for this internal. The audience paid to hear bluegrass, not biblical horns. If Dr. Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys returns to the Birchmere, I would hope management would request that the biblical horn segment be deleted
